Tags for a Nursery

A friend of mine recently had a grandchild and she asked me to make a
set of pretty tags to hang on the wall of the baby's room. Not the
typical 'baby' tags, but something simple that would be appropriate for
any age. I made these!

I
sanded all the edges and inked them using Brilliance Galaxy Gold and
Distress Ink Vintage Photo. And glued the large tags on top of the extra
large ones.

After that I just played with images until I found some I liked (all from Botanical Tea) and arranged them in a pleasing way.
Before
gluing down my images I added a pretty turquoise ribbon straight down
the center of each tag. It's a good visual and a nice contrast with the
mocha colors that run throughout the papers.
I glued the images down and I also added Punch Elements-Deco
at the bottom of each tag. I painted them white, added Galaxy Gold ink
around the edges and used a 1-inch punch to cut a couple of images from
the G45 papers. I glued them to the top disc and then glued the whole
thing on to the bottom element. I like the way this looks....it adds
another layer of detail.

Now
that the major elements are glued in, I started adding little details,
like tiny dots around the large images and on the Punch Elements. I used
Liquid Pearls White Opal for this.
I glued on a couple of buttons, top and bottom and added a pearl on top.
I
also made a bow for each tag and glued them on the top of each tag,
under the hanging hole. And added a little white flower with a dot of
Stickles Turquoise in the center.

For consistency (and because I think it looks pretty) I glued flowers down the bottom of each ribbon as well.
So pretty and feminine.
I like the idea that these tags are something that she'll grow into instead of out of.
